GREEVACE

Two brothers, two pairs of ex-bandmates, and what started as a fun project, the trio known as GREEVACE takes its name from its correctly spelled namesake: "Grievous: causing or characterized by severe pain, suffering, or sorrow." A certain General from a very popular Space Movie may have been the impetus. Three veteran scenesters of both Charlotte, NC, and Atlanta, GA, GREEVACE is comprised of brothers Andy and Chris Cauble on guitar and bass/vocals respectively. Drums are handled by Thomas Whitley. The brothers were in MONSTER (Every Day is Halloween) out of Atlanta in the '90s. Charlotte's BLACK LAGOON (Laguna Negra, The Ruthless Workings of Nature) was led by Andy and featured Thomas again on drums. Andy was also in Charlotte's punk rocker DRAT (Sorry, We're DRAT!), and Chris was bassist/leader of Atlanta's thrashers GHOST STORY (Seeds of Destruction). GREEVACE embodies the spirit of real heavy music. Inspired by all loud guitar music from classic rock, metal, punk, hardcore, etc, no one is going to call it anything but Heavy Metal. The influence of various heavy bands such as Sabbath, Maiden, Kiss, Motorhead, Metallica, etc, cannot be denied. Power and melody are keys to the style, but the bottom line is good songs. Playing on their namesake definition lyrically, there is a cryptic element of that which threatens and is threatened. Like its conspiratorial themes, there are questions posed and up to the listener to decide for themselves what their answer is. According to GREEVACE founder Chris: "I wanted to do a project that would have been something I wanted to buy and see when I first got into heavy music." Quickly unable to find any dependable guitarists in GA, Chris quickly hit up Andy/Thomas to help out. So what began as a NC/GA intrastate project, quickly became a real band at the end of 2008 when Chris returned to NC. After putting together over an hour of original music they felt good about,GREEVACE debuted live in February 2010 at Snug Harbor,Charlotte, NC. Some two years later, GREEVACE has performed in several different States in the Southeast on multiple occasions trying to garner a live following. You can catch them regularly in Charlotte, NC, at Snug Harbor, the Milestone, the Chop Shop, etc. Playing nearly every weekend for six months in late 2011 to mid 2012, GREEVACE performed with many locals and opened for several heavily-touring acts such as Jucifer, Karma to Burn, Truck Fighters, Caltrop, Joe Buck Yourself, the Shrine, Admiral Browning, Caltrop, Totimoshi, etc. The self-financed and self-produced first release THE EYE SEES ALL is now available from the band directly as of October 2012. The EP features presents four original tunes- Cabal, The Onus is On Us, GrassyKnollGroundZero, KONG, all written and arranged by GREEVACE. Although a limited demo release, the band decided to make THE EYE SEES ALL uniquely cool by releasing a gatefold cover with lyrics included and a full color cover featuring artwork and layout by noted Horror artist William "Bill" Chancellor. A limited number will include a foil sticker of the red/black logo. Late 2012 sees GREEVACE returning to the studio to record a quick follow-up to THE EYE SEES ALL and hopefully many shows in more cities and States in the region. With the releases GREEVACE hopes to get the interest of management, publishers, booking agents, and record companies to take the band to new places and new fans.
